We’re all cozy here in our little bookstore that’s bigger on the inside, despite the gray skies and damp weather expected for the remainder of the week. Come on in for a complementary cup of coffee, tea or cocoa; we’ve gotten numerous new titles in, as well as making fresh displays to appeal to every bibliophiliac taste. As we like to say, “Books Are Love”, and with Valentine’s Day coming up, we’ve got lots to choose from to purchase for those you love… especially YOU!
